Engineering photorespiration: current state and future possibilities
Reduction of flux through photorespiration has been viewed as a major way to improve crop carbon fixation and yield since the energy-consuming reactions associated with this pathway were discovered. This view has been supported by the biomasses increases

Design and in vitro realization of carbon-conserving photorespiration
Photorespiration recycles ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) oxygenation product, 2-phosphoglycolate, back into the Calvin Cycle.

Phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGPase), a key enzyme in photosynthetic organisms, catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphoglycolate, which is largely produced by the oxygenase activity of Rubisco, and is a potent inhibitor of several Calvin cycle ...

Isoprene emissions from the grass Arundo donax L. are not linked to photorespiration
Leaves of the reed grass (Arundo donax L.) were shown to emit the hydrocarbon isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene). To explore the role of photorespiration in isoprene biogenesis and emission simultaneous measurements were made of isoprene emission rate and

The Costs of Photorespiration to Food Production Now and in the Future [PDF]
Photorespiration is essential for C3 plants but operates at the massive expense of fixed carbon dioxide and energy. Photorespiration is initiated when the initial enzyme of photosynthesis, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco ...

Diurnal and seasonal carbon balance of four tropical tree species differing in successional status
This study addressed some questions about how a suitable leaf carbon balance can be attained for different functional groups of tropical tree species under contrasting forest light environments.

The Variation of Photorespiration Across Temperate Tree Species and Temperature
Photorespiration, the process associated with oxygenation of RubisCO, is planet Earth’s second largest biological flux, second only to photosynthesis. Yet, the extent of variation in photorespiration rates across plants – especially trees – is largely ...
